In this age of the long lens, BBC executives and MI5 heads cannot be too careful about what documents they leave sticking out of their briefcases. But it turns out that they are not the only ones who need to exercise ultra-caution when it comes to sensitive documents. In its September newsletter, Liverpool law firm and risk management specialist Legal Risk reveals that it is advising a firm currently in hot water over a complaint ‘that files were visible through an office window’. The Solicitors Regulation Authority is apparently investigating whether the firm has breached rule four, on confidentiality. Any solicitors suddenly feeling a tad nervous had better pop outside sharpish and check precisely what a passing peeping Tom might be able to spy through their own windows.
